Our aim at the start of the season was to finish on the Top 4. That’s still our primary goal and we’re still well on track to achieve that. Anything above that is a bonus but seeing as we’re 3 points clear at the top of the table, the ‘bonus’ is worth talking about. So […]
The one that doesn’t have them An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Control and consistency. If you were to ask the elite football coaches for the two things that they strive for more than other it will be these two. Everybody’s trying to attain what Arsenal have achieved already. Nobody’s going to hand out […]
Blimey, 3pm kick off? A 3pm kick off on a Saturday? That timeslot is a definite rare occurrence for the Arsenal. It does feel a while since we were afforded the chance to play football at a time which wasn’t dictated to be played for the convenience of a television network. Especially considering we are […]
It wouldn’t be an off-season or a break without some kind of Arsenal meltdown. However, this has been somewhat justifiable as our talisman, arguably the man who has epitomised our resurgence and our best start in PL history has just undergone surgery and will be out for most likely three months. I will not waste […]
The World Cup has been enjoyable, with surprises galore and of course star performances from our boy Bukayo. However, as Arsenal fans are desperate for our domestic form to continue later this month, we will all have been watching with fingers crossed that none of our players picked up the dreaded injury. Hence, the news […]

Today is Thanksgiving in America, a holiday created centuries ago to celebrate a bountiful harvest and annually spent with your closest friends and family. It’s a time to hold your loved ones close, and to reflect on all of the things you are thankful for in your life. I, for one, am thankful that Arsenal […]
When a team wins so convincingly, scoring 5, you would expect that team’s centre forward to have been among the goals. So, when Arsenal did exactly that against Nottingham Forest, and Gabriel Jesus failed to score for the 7th successive match in which he featured, some in the media may have been questioning the Brazilian’s […]
Arsenal are in the middle of a bruising playing schedule and like most fans I was concerned to see the energy and urgency in the team’s performance drop off at St Mary’s on Sunday. Fortunately, Arteta’s team, despite their first dropped Premier League points since the defeat at Old Trafford, still sit 2 points clear […]
This week I was asked by the editor of my tabloid column a very direct question: Should Arsenal now be considered genuine Premier League title challengers? With Arteta’s team sitting proudly top of the table after a quarter of the campaign, having just beaten 2 major rivals and won 3 hard fought points away at […]
